Chaos
just doesn't seem feasible to hold and use at the same time, Also it looks wicked fragile, as if it would comepletey explode if dropped
Awkward holding + easily broken = not something im buying.

Holy ****. $499? Not that bad actually.
Wish it had usb port though so you could hook up an external. Obviously will never happen.
Also wish it was full on OSX so that photoshop could be installed...

I'm sure it will work like the Air which allows you to share DVD/CD drives from other networked Macs. Besides, isn't the push going towards apps in the cloud rather than locally installed? This thing seems to be right on the cusp of that effort. I think they killed it. Nice job, for a change.

Thats the problem with it though. How would you use photoshop on it? You would need a keyboard, and then you have to move your hand to the touchscreen all the time. That would be annoying.

No camera is odd.
Why would you need a keyboard? They announced a dock/keyboard anyways.

There's a dock and a keyboard. I'm sure bluetooth is on board too.

Dude - what's with the need for USB? Does your iTouch have it? No -- it has the proprietary Apple iPod connector just like this thing does. The dock can probably accomodate charging/USB/external speakers, etc. This thing looks like it's about 1/4 inch thick - probably can't even accomodate a USB-sized port.
This looks to me like a perfect way to break into the business users market (which they have next to zero penetration.) They are fully saturated in the creative market. Designers/photogs/video peeps...they've hit critical mass there. This one puts them into the on the run business person's market. I can see this being a big hit in that area where smaller/lighter/faster is always the mantra.

Very interested in picking one of these up. It won't be for a good while so probably a 2G  .
What do you all think about no flash support? Or at least not shown. No flash in safari still? bah.

here you go, USB-fanboy...
iPad Keyboard Dock
The Keyboard Dock is a dock for charging your iPad, integrated with a full-size keyboard. The dock has a rear 30-pin connector, which lets you connect to an electrical outlet using a USB Power Adapter, sync to your computer, and use accessories like the Camera Connection Kit. And an audio jack lets you connect to a stereo or powered speakers.
I will say no built-in camera is a definite no-no. I'm sure that saves some space for rev.2 though, in typical Apple fashion.

My only interest in such a device would be being able to use it like a wacom with a screen. I wanted a hand-held imac, not an oversized ipod.
Oh and should I refer to my iphone as an iPad mini now?

Better than calling the bigger one a maxiPad.
Honest question to the photoshop die hards out there. Would you really want to design wacom-style on a 9 - 10 inch screen? That's really small for any level of detailed work, I would think...
